THE BLACK titL, s COLLEGE.

The committee appointed at the last
session of the Black Hills Mission for
the purpose of conferring with the
citizens of the different towns desiring
the location of the college soon to be
established in this mission, desire to
have all propositions submitted by the
18th inst. Hot Springs is admirably
situated for the location Of this school
and it can be confidently relied upon
that the people hold themselves in
rea illness to do all in their power to
secure this institution.
There is perhaps no public enter
prise of any character. fraught with as
many beneficial results to the commun-
ity in which it is located as good liter
ary and scientific college. Few young
men and ladies are SO situated as to be
able to avail themselves of the benefits
to be derived from attendance at the
university, of which there is only one
and in all probability will be the only
one ever established in South Dakota.
So that the higher education Of large
majority Of the young people must
be left to denominational schools. And
Furthermore there are many parents
who greatly prefer to send their
children to these schools, and especially

until Saturday morning to secure cOun-
i. and the examination is set for that
time. Il was announced to-day that a
short time before the death of Kingsley.
Billings went to +. w. RisdOn. a justice
of the peace. and stated to him that he
had been employed by young lady of
wealthy family 10 prosecute Kingsley
for betrayal. and that he (BillingS1 had
drawn UP papers calling for 5000 from
Kingsley to send the girl away. that she
might get out of the trouble. The US
tice told Billings that Kingsley would
never sign such paper. Billings said
that he would make him sign or he
would blow his Id brains out. RiS-
don testified 10 these facts to-day. Since
this occurrence Billings has admitted
that he made out the papers to have
Kingsley sign them to support Billings
wife and unborn babe, which he claimed
Kingsley was the father of. Fearing
that this testimony would cause an eX-
animation to be made on his wife by
physicians, he at once retracted that
part of his evidence in which he stated
his wife was pregnant by Kingsley.
Billings is very badly scared, and has
threatened to commit suicide DIR. Bur
bank, who examined Billings wound a
few minutes after the tragedy. says he
is not certain that it was caused by a
bullet. +. W RisdOn will be recalled
tomorrow to state further what he
knows of Billings saying that he would

Some Tall Hustling Being Done

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-There is

the position left vacant by the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Sparks. There are lots of
people who want that. and want it
badly. There is Mr.. Cobb, of Indiana,
tall, brOad-shOuldered, with a smoothly
Shaven face strongly marked with lines
of firmness. He has been as vigorous
and active as Mr.. Sparks ever was in
his hostility to the land-grabberS.
There is Mr.. StOckslager, of Indiana.

the Democratic candidate for governor
of Iowa has an eye on that place. Then
there is the district attorneyship here

hungry patriots anxious for that. In
spite of the fact that President Cleve-
land has appointed, through his own
work or that of his assistants. probably
10000 persons since his administration
began. he has yet a good many places to
fill in the fourteen months he has left in

4 Narrow EScane

CINCINNATI, Dec. 29.-During the in
tense cold of last night after midnight
the patr0lmen observed a bundle of
clothing huddled up in a doorway at
Fifth and EggleStOn avenue. Upon eX-
aminiDg it they found man apparently
Just about to freeze to death after de-
baUch. With some difficulty the officers
got the man to the station house. where
they were told by him that his name
was Patrick O'Brien, aged twenty-SiX,
residence, Iowa: that he was con-
tractor, and was here 10 visit his brother
Oh Eastern avenue. Upon searching
him, as is the custom whenever one is
locked up, the officers found $1,000 in
money and $1,000 in checks payable to
him on his person. besides valuable
gold watch and diamond jewelry. Mr..
O'Brien's escape from robbery as we'll
as freezing is remarkable, for the local
ity in which he was found is one of the
worst in the city.
